Hi! I wsa wondering if the Nature Center was available to rent out for private gatherings, maybe on one of the off-days? I was looking at maybe a Monday or Tuesday in November? A hike followed by a party…
Let me know, thanks, Ryan Bolger
Hi Ryan,
Thank you for your interest in us!
Unfortunately the City does not rent out the nature center for private events.
However, we do host birthday parties thrown by the IE Waterkeepers. If you are interested in a children’s birthday party through them, you can contact them at 951-530-8823 for more information (though there is a preschool in the center on Tuesdays and Thursdays so you may be limited to Mondays if they are available).
If you are interested in a tour for a group (such as a school club, scouts group, etc.) you can contact the site coordinator Kim Cobb at kcobb@riversideca.gov. Tours include a hike and short talk about the local wildlife in the area and are geared toward school aged children.
If you are looking to have a private party with food and alcohol, we can not accommodate you. However, please do consider looking through the other facilities that the City has to offer. The website is attached for your convenience. Thank you!
